Doesnt matter what its worth. Unless MS sells Activision Blizzard for 70 Billion, they havent made any profits from it.

Its that "what a thing is worth in assets" that I dont agree with. By that account every company can say they are doing great since they have assets. THQ had a lot off assets. They failed because not many people bought anything associated with their "assets".

Good thing for MS they are filthy rich and makes money from other "assets".

People's issue with your comments are that you're basically ignoring business economics 101 and how every company in the world looks at M&As...

No matter what you say here, it's wrong, because the business world does not operate like you're implying. Microsoft Gaming profits and ABK doesn't straddle them with a $69bn debt, Lol. They're turning their cash into assets which they believe are worth $69bn and then making money off that $69bn asset (likely more than interest rates on $69bn cash).

They (other companies) can't say that if they don't profit off those assets. Which Microsoft does! Lol.

If a company acquires a bunch of shit, sure they have a bunch of assets, but they need to profit off those assets still and they profit by having lower operating costs than the income they bring in on a quarterly/yearly basis. Microsoft brings in more income than their operating costs on a yearly basis and therefore they profit...
